I would love to know how you get into trouble. You are one of the most even mannered folks online that I know.
Hi Mark, thanks. IDK perhapse a Jesus-syndrom (truth=scary-so-kill)? some sort of jellosy/envy? vested interests in status quo? change resistance? I don't mean that religiously but intellectually/socially/analytically.
If I have any guilt it appears my technically sound posts are considered off-topic spam. I'm certain they were't really spam in a technical sense but from perception of their members who are mostly non-technical artists who murder the logic presented to them "kill em... nice ass!..." Having taken on their shut up I wanna see pretty requests with more on-topic truth was arguing rationally with the irrational.
And there were others who must have wished I'd been even more aggressive with that tact - like "bump for more Powergutiar spam". Another motive to increase technical content while they irrationally want something else and bitch about it is that I don't feel like shutting up per instruction of co-forum member is appropriate to give flames that sort of reward. And sure irrational forums exist all over for fashion applied to nearly everything. EG: what makes a PRS better than my $78 Averez? Ok I'm pushing it on that one. But the point is when the mods back flames they reward breaking their own rules so basically they don't have any real rules over there.
For what it's worth from what I've seen it's the SEMI-TECHNICAL blogs that are the worst. Like TGP and HCAF, I've seen a similar mess in automotive topic-blogs. Once you get fully over to fashion then it's just about that. But with autos, guitars, stuff like that its still a mix of fashion/technical and for those topics to fit together into a single forum it's my impression that it takes aggressive admonition to flamers by nearly everyone (like here and thanks for that) so that fashion is in fashion threads and technical is in technical threads. Once that works out the forum should be great for everyone. And I don't think I'm the only one saying there's something special about MWGF. So I'm speculating this is a big part of that success. Please do educate if I'm missing something so I may continue choosing my battles with increasing effectiveness - thanks.
Whatever it is its appreciated here. Thanks Mark.
